DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The disclosed subject matter is described below with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems) and computer program products according to embodiments of the subject matter. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer-readable medium that can direct a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to function in a particular manner, such that the instructions stored in the computer-readable medium produce an article of manufacture including instruction means which implement the function/act specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

The computer program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer or other programmable apparatus to produce a computer implemented process such that the instructions which execute on the computer or other programmable apparatus provide processes for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks.

One technical problem dealt with by the disclosed subject matter is to enable an interaction between a video player and an object. The object may be external to the video player. The video player may be enriched, enhanced or otherwise extended with another object, such as an interactive object. The video player and the object may be executed in a securely separated manner, such as in a different sandbox or by a virtual machine.

Another technical problem dealt with by the disclosed subject matter is to provide an infrastructure for such interaction between an object and a video matched on the fly.

Yet another technical problem dealt with by the disclosed subject matter is to coordinate between animation of the object and animation of the video player, such as for example to provide a synchronized animation, a video-context-dependant animation by the object or the like.

One technical solution is to provide an event detector to identify an event associated with the video player or an object presented by the video player. The event detector may dispatch the event to the external object. The external object may be responsive to the event.

Another technical solution is to provide a coordinating module to coordinate predetermined animation associated with the video player, the external object or other components.

Yet another technical solution is to have a predetermined animation associated with an object. The predetermined animation may be parameter-dependant, such as may be modified based on a relative location of the video player and the external object.

One technical effect of utilizing the disclosed subject matter is providing a modified display based on an identification of an event. Another technical effect is achieving synchronized or otherwise coordinated animation between two components, such as the video player and the external object. The components may be executed separately, such as by a virtual machine, and still be coordinated.
